Floss Scraps

I don't know what other people do with the tiny bits of floss scraps they accumulate while working on big or small projects, but some time ago I started adding all the scraps into an old bottle. It continues to change colors and is a pretty cool piece of work in itself. Does anybody else do anything with there floss scraps?

Sometimes mine end up in the trash, or the back of the couch, or a glass jar that I put aside for that purpose. It's in my curio cabinet, so I find it more annoying to get out and put my scraps into, but that's just me being lazy....

I normally keep mine in a little container and throw them away, but I think I might put them in a bottle now. Yours looks very cool :good:

I usually collect mine in an ever-growing pile on my coffee table where I stitch. They eventually find their way to the garbage.. unless one of the cats takes them on a trip instead lol but your bottle looks pretty neat. I think I'll start saving them like that. At least I know I'll never find them balled up in the toe of my shoes.. (Thanks, cats) :P

My cats do the same thing.

I have a bucket by where I stitch that I put mine in; but it generally ends up being a trash can for other items as well so it doesn't look as cool :)

I have a lidded pot I put mine into and use them to stuff things with.

I also collect mine up but I get rid of them now and then.
Actually, and I forget which blogger does it (not enough caffeine this morning!) but there's a blog thing called the TUSAL where they collect up the thread scraps from their current projects, put them in a container and post a photo on their blogs periodically!

I do that with my blog BMH :) I don't think I'm the one you're talking about though lol. What I've been doing is saving mine so I can make one of those nifty cross stitch pin cushions and stuff it with them :)
